To be honest, you are doing better, in that case, than in most jobs under capitalism, which provide clear social negatives. Generally, the higher paying, the more detrimental to humanity, though some people will do a socially harmful job just because it's more interesting than the alternatives.

Meanwhile, I don't disagree with the rest of what you said. I'd just hoped to be doing more.
